Alessia watched the scene unfold before her. She sighed and walked over to him until she was now near him as well. She crouched on the part of the air she was standing on and looked the boy up and down. "Samuel, did you know that for stealing you could be punished, sent to jail, or worse. What would Daisy do if you were sent away? No one would then be able to take care of her." She walked around the air until she was standing behind the boy even though he was still being held by the soldier.
"Now it's my job to arrest criminals. However, if you take the apple back to this Mrs. Baker, I think I can forgive you. Then we have the problem of Daisy dying. Lucky for you I have a solution for that." She walked over to his side again and looked at the young boy with a smile before putting her hand into her robe for a moment. She then pulled it out and in the palm of her hand was a single gold coin. "If you take this apple back to its rightful owner and apologize you can keep this gold coin and use it to buy some food for Daisy. All I ask is that next time, instead of stealing, try asking if there is anything you can do to help to get some food for Daisy. Do we have a deal?" She said with a smile on her face.
